I don’t know much about the bill at all but knowing that Vickie Paladino opposes it is the best endorsement it could have received in my eyes.

I don't live in New York and don't know who Paladino is, but based on this quote (from a link in the comment currently right above yours), she is an idiot

"She believes the bill will force housing units to go unadvertised, limiting transparency and opportunities for tenants"

If that video's an example of the "sane voice", I fear for y'all.

This statement is pretty representative of how she presents her ideas.
